Category:Agamon Hefer, Nature park in Heffer Valley, Israel

Agamon Hefer is a nature park in Heffer Valley with two artificial ponds connected by wooden walkways and dirt paths for visitors to explore. The site features different routes through the wetland environment and surrounding vegetation.

Agamon Hefer opened in 2017 on 300 dunams beside the Alexander River, about 1.5 km south of Kibbutz Ein HaHoresh. The lake occupies land that was once swamp; after the kibbutz was founded, the drained marsh was turned into fish ponds. When the kibbutz stopped operating the ponds they were abandoned, and the Sharon Drainage and Rivers Authority, with donors to KKL from Canada, built the park.

The name Agamon Hefer follows Agamon Hula, the northern wetland it is modelled on. The lake bed was formerly fish ponds of Kibbutz Ein HaHoresh, dug on drained swamp land; when the kibbutz stopped running them they were left abandoned. Today the site holds a bird ringing and research station, and the Sharon Trail passes beside the park.

The park is located near Ein Hahoresh and remains open year-round from sunrise to sunset. Entry is free and parking is available without restrictions.

The ponds offer excellent opportunities to observe migratory birds passing through in different seasons. These migration routes make the place particularly rewarding for bird watchers and nature enthusiasts.
